Should I try again with another dermatologist?
Should I try another dermatologist? Like, 4th one? Please bear with me.
Anyway, I went to 3 dermatologists so far...
First one told me that I definitely don't have androegenic alopecia and he have told me to buy salycic acid. He told me some stuff that I have tight scalp blah blah. He's very old man, and all he did try is some plucking tests... his office looked very poor and he didn't use anything like microscopes or anything else... oh and he's very old man.
Second one was provided with health insurance... she told me that she thinks I have androgenic alopecia and she told me to buy some vitamins, some shampoo simliar to nizoral and some 2% minoxidil (she told me I should use it for 6 months then stop... and that I can return whenever I want... weir, huh?). I should also note that she just examined my hair for like 10 seconds with naked eye...
Yesterday I was so excited because I finally got approval from my parenths to get on fin... I was excited like little kid when it's aobut to get some toy... actualy, I couln't fall a sleep because excitement... but...
Today I went to third one and she told me I definitely DON'T have androgenic alopecia... that it's just my hair quality and color got different at some spots... like crown (in not so typical shape) and some spot on other part of head... I shoul also note that she's only one that actualy looked my hair under some real equipment... microscope, some blue light etc... she told me that my hair density is same tho.
She told me that she's sure that I have ''dermatitis dysseborrhoica capilitii'' and ''Helminthosis suspecta''. I have no idea what that is, I will do google now...
Also, I have to do another blood test of:
Complete blood, complete urin, Glucose blood level range, something related toTransaminase, Colesterol, Triglyceride, Creatinine, Serology of Helicobacter Pylori.
But I'm honestly scared... I was happy about... because I through I will start to take fin and that I will STOP WORRYING knowing that I'm doing everything I can... she didn't gave me prescription for finasteride and told me to not use minox.
Should I listen to her or should I go to 4th one? :S ... damn, they are so expencive...
